The schedule for Theology on Tap in Milwaukee is now available. I assume the topics will be announced later. They will be partnering with parishes this year.
The Diocese of Green Bay hosted a Social Media conference this week. Great idea, sounds like many resources for parishes to reach out to parishioners.
Father Z talk about the situation in Platteville where the parishioners are trying to shut down the school to get Bp. Morlino to "fire" the traditional priests that are assigned there.
Bp. Ricken will give the commencement address at Silver Lake College of the Holy Family in Manitowoc. Ricken will speak on "The Importance of Liberal Arts Education in Today's World." I've never heard of the college before, are they any good?
A really interesting article on an Elma, Iowa Catholic Church titled "People won't let rural church die."
Did you see the pastor of St. Agnes in St Paul (does both Ordinary and Extraordinary forms in Latin with proper chants) was appointed rector of the Cathedral of the archdiocese? Awesome!! Don't mind Terry though, I think high pollen counts have had an effect on him.
There is a concert at St. James the Less in La Crosse for the dedication of their new organ Sunday April 29th at noon. St James has added newly appointed music director Patrick Burkhart to its staff who recently lead his former Stevens Point choir in Rome.
Wisconsin Family Action is leading the charge in Wisconsin for defense of religious freedom. Please sign their petition for Wisconsin here! Be sure to forward it to friends and families via email, Facebook and Twitter.
"....We must take steps immediately to improve the constitutional protections we have so that policy makers and judges do not create law or rule on laws in such a way that our religious freedoms are further eroded. Wisconsin Family Action is working with state legislators to introduce a resolution that will amend our state constitution to give Wisconsin the best religious freedom language available. By signing the petition, you will be sending a strong and clear message to our state legislators that you want your religious freedom given the best protection possible.".... and yes, it is very awkward that Wisconsin Catholic Conference is completely silent on the matter, not to mention the fact they are not completely championing the effort.

One wonders who (aside from the Conference's paid LeftOWacky staff) is resisting issuance of a statement on the matter....
Does Bert the Weak STILL have a veto?
If I had to guess, I'd say we'd get a "it's the USCCB's problem" or something like that. Therefore, we will happily donate to Protestant organizations who will take legal action to protect the Catholic Church in our state.
